What was the biggest suprise of Election Day?



Immigration and Customs Enforcement is launching a new program designed to give fugitive illegal aliens the opportunity to self-deport and avoid jail time.

The program, called “Operation Scheduled Departure” would allow up to 572,000 fugitive illegal aliens in violation of court orders to leave the country without penalty.

Operation Scheduled Departure will make their first offer to illegal aliens living in San Diego, Santa Ana, Phoenix, Chicago and Charlotte between August 5th and August 22nd. Those who participate will be given up to 90 days to make plans to leave the country.

This offer is not being extended to persons who have ignored previous deportation orders or who have committed a crime.

self deportation
The only way to stop the chaos is to remove the magnet that attracts so many illegals. NO JOBS=NO MORE INVASION. How do we stop companies from hiring illegally?

COMING SOON!! Look for a solution in the next few weeks. A simple way that 'we the people' can do our part to support business owners that pledge to only hire those that are authorized to work in this country.

which law came first
Akagi GA: "Because illegal aliens have due process rights and the US military can't be used for law enforcement duties which rounding up illegals is, that's why. I know you were trying to be cute and not simply being mindless."

you're quick to remind everyone of laws that seem to benefit those who

1) broke a law

so we need more laws to enforce laws?
are you a lawyer?
